DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool
(ugweb)
is used to manage user accounts and group accounts on the local system.
This tool can also be used to manage user accounts on a NIS system.
The HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool provides both
Web-based and terminal user interface.
The Web-based interface is launched through the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX User and Group Account
Configuration tool.
A user who does not have superuser privileges has read-only access to
the Local Users, NIS Users and Groups areas in the HP-UX User and Group
Account Configuration tool and cannot modify local user accounts, group
accounts and NIS User accounts.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser
running on the X server defined by the
DISPLAY
environment variable.
If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used; otherwise,
a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated.
This will only happen if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the
same system as that referenced by the
DISPLAY
variable, unless the
-F
option is used.
Note:
By default, the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool
(ugweb)
invokes the Mozilla Web browser.
If you want to support any other browser (Netscape), set the
BROWSER
environment variable as shown below:
export BROWSER=/opt/netscape/netscape
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following
conditions are true:
The command
/usr/sbin/ugweb
is invoked with the
-t
option.
The
DISPLAY
environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are
true:
The command
/usr/sbin/ugweb
is invoked with the
-F
option.
The
DISPLAY
environment variable is set.
The command
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/samweb
is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched,
ugweb
invokes the terminal user interface.
Options
ugweb
recognizes the following options:
- -F
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The
-F
option forces the client browser to be used or
started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server and
the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network
traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and
the host in the
DISPLAY
variable is secure.
If
ugweb
cannot start the Web browser, the terminal
interface is started.
When the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration Web interface is invoked
by SAM, the
-F
option is used.
- -b
If a privileged user (root) executes the
ugweb
command with
the
-b
option, a temporary login bypass key is generated.
The bypass key enables the user to access
the Web interface without having to provide login information again.
When the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration interface is
started by SAM, the
-b
option is used.
- -t
Launches the terminal interface for managing local users, NIS users and
groups regardless of the current setting of the
DISPLAY
environment variable.
Note:
You can also start the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration
tool using one of the following methods:
Run
/usr/sbin/sam
and select the User and Group Account Configuration (Web-based Interface)
to launch the Web-based tool.
Start the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool Web interface by
typing
the URL
http://hostname:2301/ug/ug.cgi
in the address bar of your browser, where
hostname
is the name of the server.
Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and select the
User and Group Account Configuration tool from the
Configure -> HP-UX Configuration
menu.
